Bluettoth permission not included in the final AndroidManifest.xml

Hello,

I want to use bluetooth in my Oculus Quest device so I need to include android.permission.BLUETOOTH permission in the .apk generated by Unity.

I included the AndroidManifest.xml file below in the ../MyProject/Assets/Plugins/Android/

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.unity3d.player"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH"/>
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.bluetooth_le" android:required="false"/>

<application>
<activity android:name="com.unity3d.player.UnityPlayerActivity"
android:theme="@StyLe/UnityThemeSelector">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
<meta-data android:name="unityplayer.UnityActivity" android:value="true" />
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>

The permissions ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION and BLUETOOTH_ADMIN was included but not the BLUETOOTH permission.

Im using Oculus Plugin + Unity 2019.4.16f1

I tried with Unity versions 2019.3.2.f1, 2020.1.0f1, 2020.1.9f1. Same result. Not work.

I cant believe it. Any idea?

Thanks in advance!!

 

I'm having the same issue, have you found a work around??

 

I'm on the same boat

 

It seems the problem is being caused by Oculus XR Plugin since version 1.5.0. The plugin is removing the BLUETOOTH permission from builds [https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/c...include-in-final-apk-using-unity-oculus-quest]

I guess there are two solutions:
1. Downgrade to version 1.4.3
2. Edit the

OculusBuildProcessor.cs

file found in Packages/Oculus XR Plugin/Editor and comment the line where the BLUETOOTH permission is removed.

The line in question is #434:

Code (CSharp):

1. RemoveNameValueElementInTag(manifestDoc, nodePath, "uses-permission", "android:name", "android.permission.BLUETOOTH");
